Eh, because it's GREEN, and I don't own Nvidia cards No, this is first time using coolant instead of distilled in years, and I wanted to go for a black and red theme; thus the green wouldn't quite sit right.

Got my msi cooler today. Truly a pain in the ass to install compared to my past corsair h80's and h100's. Looks nice and works silent enough. Replaced the stock fan with a San ace 25mm fan because I didn't have the 38mm screws

ok so i was playing a bit with my workstation: reversing ODD/HDD/FAN cage to improve the airflow on the nForce 2050 chipset... who is quite a scorcher and testing a cheap thermal compound from GD china, Ebay around 1€ for 1g so i decided to give it a try on the Opterons (you can see the syringe on the desk) >2.0W/m-k i have seen worse deal ...: "Spire Bluefr[W]o[R]st" 2.8W/m-k and 4€ for 0.5g a little test and i will see if i have to go back to my beloved MX-4, i ran across the TPU wallpaper thread ... well ...

i just noticed ... i have a Ubuntu sticker on my rack but i use Win7 64 Pro ... aherm ... woops

and i fiddled with my Razr i panorama pics mode... well not quite the good one unless my screen and 19" rack are the flexible type ... 1st try : mild fail xD

i wonder why i didn't see the TPU wallpaper thread before xD what you see on the left is my Toshiba Folio 100 (CM10.1 4.2.2) who is reconverted into a monitoring screen since i hate wasting electronics even if the screen is completely cracked from top left to bottom right (barely noticeable tho)

also stress testing my 2 Opteron 248 while playing BF3 (THANKS ORIGIN!) on the main rig ... well it seems that Chinese TIM is not half bad for the price paid... 46°-48° CPU01 and 49°-51° CPU02 (Prime95 x64 100% load) on super quiet fan profile (Supermicro H8DCE) monitoring the rig on my Tablet (gosh that Trigone monitoring software is good )
i might order some more for the next clean'n repast session if the test conclude on a good point (spread test and corrosion test after the stress test, but they advertise it as non bleeding and non corrosive, altho not non conductive it seems)

ok 1 more debt to clean and i will be able to surf again on the "high end" side of the upgrades ... wooopeee! i can't wait to be back into upgrades and bench mode!

Let's be DS bros! I found installing hardware into this thing almost as easy as installing a testbench! The only issue you need be aware of, is if you intend to install your own 230mm fan (I've installed a Bitfenix Spectre 230mm), as you'll need to remove the DVD and 2.5" bay.

Nah they are just Koolance 120x38 116cfm 39 db and San Ace 109R1212H1011 102cfm 39db, with the fan controller its a faint whir, but at max its pretty powerful. The good Deltas are around 250 cfm and 60 db, so these aren't on that level.
I've thought about running ducting but not sure how it could be done without looking like total shit and the temps probably wouldn't change to make it worth it.

Indeed, its the easiest installation ive done so far, tho i ought to think about where to hide the cables, its just a quick install for now and prolly later ill make it look cleaner.
230mm? it can actually fit? i thought 200m was the max :O
One issue i encountered was that the DVD drive is almost hitting the CPU Tower Cooler (YES I STILL USE SOME STINKIN OPTICAL DRIVE >.<)

These cases are all over our place but they only sell Red, Gold/Yellow and White. No Black, but a rare seller manage to get his hands on a black one and grabbed it right away an di also got it cheaper than the others.

Ive only installed it quick for now, will prolly rearange it later and warning, terrible quality night pics >.<

STINKIN DVD DRIVE POSES A THREAT

Yes monoblock chair, coz the old platform was not high enough to make the case visible enough, need a new furniture >.<
